Chapter 256: Chapter 256: The Return This Time Is Not the Same as Before

Qin Yi looked at the four with shock, pressing his lips, he whispered, "Do you want to know how I know these things?"

The four people looked at Qin Yi, their curiosity evident.

Because everything Qin Yi said was correct, their initial order was to wait for Qin Yi to eliminate the Diao Family and then kill Qin Yi. Later, they received an order saying to bring Qin Yi back alive.

Only the higher-ups and the four of them knew about these matters, so how did Qin Yi know?

"Come, don’t rush, I’m right under your noses, can’t escape. Let’s drink first, I’ll tell you slowly."

The five clinked glasses, finished their drinks, and the four looked at Qin Yi with suspicion.

Qin Yi took a bite of food, then leisurely said, "Actually, I know the Azure Dragon."

The four widened their eyes in astonishment, staring at Qin Yi. But soon, a doubtful look appeared in their eyes.

"You don’t believe me?"

Xuan Ming said, "How do you prove it?"

Qin Yi laughed, "Finish your drink first, then I’ll tell you."

Watching the four drink, Qin Yi took something out from his pocket and casually threw it on the table.

The eyes of the four were drawn to the object on the table, and when they saw it clearly, their expressions changed drastically.

"Azure Dragon Token."

Qin Yi nodded slightly, smiling, "Do you believe me now?"

Xuan Ming’s face was shocked, "You really know the Azure Dragon Guardian God?"

"Is this Azure Dragon Token fake?"

The four hurriedly shook their heads because they didn’t have the guts to forge the Azure Dragon Token. Moreover, the material of this Azure Dragon Token was the same as the Xuanwu Order they had seen before.

They were Black Tortoise Envoys, yet they didn’t have the Xuanwu Order. Because having the order was like seeing the person, the order being issued was as if the person was there, not everyone was qualified to hold the Xuanwu Order, unless they were trusted greatly by the four guardian gods.

"To be honest with you, I’m not just acquainted with the old man Azure Dragon. We actually drink and chat together, play chess, and go fishing for fun."

The four were stunned, Qin Yi actually called the Azure Dragon Guardian God "old man Azure Dragon"? How close is this relationship? Could Qin Yi be the Azure Dragon Guardian God’s actual grandson?

Qin Yi looked at the four and seriously asked, "Was the order to bring me back alive given by your superior?"

The four nodded simultaneously.

"Then let me ask you a question, as subordinates, what is the most important thing?"

The four thought about it, Xuan Ming said, "Carry out orders!"

Qin Yi laughed, "Aside from carrying out orders, you also need to understand your superior’s mind, to share their burdens. Otherwise, if your superior has to explain everything to you, wouldn’t they be exhausted?"

Xuan Ming said, "What do you mean by that?"

Qin Yi disdainfully shook his head, "That’s why I say you’re foot soldiers? Your minds are too rigid, can’t understand the higher-ups at all."

"Let me ask you, do you dare to kill me?"

The four shook their heads.

"Does your superior dare to kill me?"

The four thought about it, then shook their heads again.

Qin Yi looked full of contempt, "Why even think? Even if your superior had ten guts, they wouldn’t dare to kill me. Even old man Xuanwu wouldn’t dare. My relationship with the Azure Dragon is such that this is obviously a matter discussed between the old Azure Dragon and old Xuanwu."

"Of course, their statuses are too high, you can’t gauge their intentions, it’s normal. But do you know what to do now?"

The four exchanged glances, Xuan Ming said, "Take you back."

Qin Yi pursed his lips helplessly, "Should I call you pigs?"

The four’s faces turned black with embarrassment.

Qin Yi whispered, "Wasn’t the order from above to not harm me at all, just to bring me back alive?"

Xuan Ming nodded, though there wasn’t an explicit instruction to not harm Qin Yi, it was indeed said to bring him back alive.

Qin Yi, frustrated at their lack of understanding, said, "Isn’t the meaning obvious? It means you should find an excuse to let me go."

The four looked doubtful, is that really the meaning?

Qin Yi said helplessly, "Think about it, whether it’s you or your superior, including old man Xuanwu, who dares to kill me? If they don’t dare to kill me, what’s the point of taking me back? To make me your boss?"

The four nodded slightly, Qin Yi’s words made some sense.

"Hey, look at this." Qin Yi picked up the Azure Dragon Token, "I now hold the Azure Dragon Token, do you dare to touch me? This thing is equivalent to the old man Azure Dragon himself, touching me is touching the Azure Dragon, who among you has the guts for that?"

The four quickly shook their heads, they wouldn’t dare touch the Azure Dragon Envoy unless they had a death wish.

"So, don’t you think those above knew that I have the Azure Dragon Token? The order to take me back is logical. It’s to let me leave on my own, not for you to take me back, understand?"

Xuan Ming pondered for a moment, suddenly enlightened, "So that’s it. This ’back’ isn’t the same ’back’."

"You guys are really making me worry with your thinking." Qin Yi looked disdainful, raising his goblet, "Come, come, come, let’s drink!"

Xuan Ming drank his cup of wine, asked Qin Yi, "Then what excuse should we find to let you leave?"

Qin Yi laughed, "That’s simple, just say you were beaten by me..."

Seeing Xuan Ming’s eyes bulge with discontent, Qin Yi hurriedly said, "This is just an excuse, you four have higher cultivation, how could I possibly be a match for you?"

The four finally showed satisfied expressions.

Xuan Ming said, "Continue."

Qin Yi nodded, "Soon, we’ll find a secluded place, I’ll inconvenience you four a bit by knocking you out, and then you can report back saying you were no match for me and I escaped."

"That way, this issue is resolved perfectly, those above will certainly see you in a new light, since people who understand their superiors’ minds are rare, and in the future, you four can expect to rise high."

The four exchanged glances and nodded to each other.

Xuan Ming suddenly said, "But that feels fake. You’re not a match for us four, yet we get knocked out by you. That doesn’t make sense, right?"

Qin Yi nodded slightly, "Brother Xuan Ming, you’re quite insightful. Then say while you were beating me half to death, a mysterious person suddenly appeared and rescued me."

Xuan Ming smiled, "That’s much better, Brother Qin Yi is truly wise."

Qin Yi raised his glass, "Same to you! Come, after all the time is early, let’s eat and drink our fill before dealing with the rest."

The atmosphere became much livelier, the five of them kept drinking, two bottles weren’t enough, they requested another two, and after downing four bottles, they were feeling quite tipsy.

Qin Yi swayed as he stood up, "Brothers, it’s nearly time. Delays might cause trouble, let’s start now."

Xuan Ming was also a bit tipsy, "Alright, I know a secluded place, not far from here, we can go there."

Originally, Qin Yi wanted to pay the bill, but Xuan Ming insisted on settling it. The five of them left, and soon arrived at a park that was abandoned and planned for renovation.
